There's So Much Wrong With Palin
By: Mark W Adams


So very, very much.

In the course of just one speech, the mind-boggglingly stupid piled on top of the just plain dumb is staggering.

Not only is is unable to name any newspapers or magazines that she reads, she doesn't watch the news -- rather, she's not allowed to.
At those times on the campaign trail when sometimes it's easy to get a
little bit discouraged, when, you know, when you happen to turn on the
news when your campaign staffers will let you turn on the news," she
said, prompting laughter from the group. "Usually they're like 'Oh my
gosh, don't watch. You're going to, you know, you're going to get
depressed.'"
Perfect symmetry.  Low information voter, meet your low information candidate. But talk about your base-play.  Her rallies really are more like tent revival meetings than political discourse.  Check this out.
"But it's at events like these and our rallies that we are so
energized and inspired and we know that we are not alone. We feel your
strength and we feel the power of prayer, so many of you tell us that
you are praying for us and praying for our country and that's why we so
appreciate you being here."

Giving credit to a higher power for the day's poll ratings, the
Alaska governor told the roughly 500-person audience that things might
be changing. "We even saw today, thank the Lord," she said, looking
upwards and raising her fist, "We saw some movement."



So, when she loses in historic fashion, will she blame her god, or will she hear a booming voice in her head that says, "Sister Sarah, something about you just chaps my ass."  Her ability to bring the blather is remarkable.  She claims she begged her speech writers not to make her talk about Joe the Plumber -- as if she isn't a capable adult fully able to simple decide not to bring the guy up.

"And I, I begged our speech writers, 'Don't make me say 'Joe the
Plumber,' please, in any speeches.' And I was asked, 'Just one time,
just at this fund raiser,'" she recounted.

And then she proceeded to parrot exactly what they had written for her to say, going on and on about guess who, Joe.  (Can she call him Joe, too?)

A final and exceedingly bad form piece of work was how she noted "that she loved to visit the "pro-America" areas of the country, of which North Carolina is one."  The WaPost blog notes there was "No word on which states she views as unpatriotic."  Tone deafness, much?  Can't wait for this bitch to visit Brooklyn and bring that shit.
